UCs, UM & some privates - chances?

<p>Hey guys,
I guess posting a chances thread won’t hurt :slight_smile: I’ll be a senior next semester and am applying to some schools, and was wondering where would be a good fit for me.</p>

<p>Sex: F
Age: 16 (one year younger than rest of class, if that makes any difference)
Location: CA
Eth: Asian
school: public non-magnet, top 50 in the nation, accredited (whatever that means :))</p>

<p>GPA: 3.55 uw, 3.78 w. (pretty low, i suck at math and sci)
SAT: 2190 (oct), 2300 (march)

  • 2190: 670M, 710W, 790CR, essay 9
  • 2300: 740M, 760W, 800CR, essay 9
    SAT2: 730 math2, 750 USH
    (taking Lit in October, hope i do well :))</p>

<p>Courseload: math/sci/eng all honors, junior year I took APUSH & AP Bio</p>

<p>EC’s:

  • service club 9-11, junior year I was Secretary
  • been doing art self-taught all my life, going to an animation camp this summer!
    — art awards and stuff, nothing extremely prestigious though
  • some years of piano, CM level 8
  • school newspaper staff
    — junior year: copy editor
    — senior year: editor-in-chief
  • comm service 200+ hours and counting!
    — science camp counselor, summer camp counselor
  • sports
    — 2 years track, 1 cross country (both JV)</p>

<p>other stuff:
I have kind of a weird family situation which I won’t really get into here, but without making any excuses, it has affected me somewhat.
Ideal career path: film/animation, if not then polisci/pre-law?</p>

<p>Also hoping for any recs on schools.</p>

<p>SCHOOLS (for now)

  • UCs
  • University of Michigan
  • WashU
    (below will prolly be film programs, but maybe not)
  • NYU
  • USC
  • Brown(/RISD)
  • Chapman?
  • RIT?</p>
